Man rides watercraft down flooded Lithuanian street

A man's joyride on a personal watercraft through a flooded street in Lithuania has gone viral. The unusual scene unfolded after heavy rains inundated the area, turning a road into a makeshift waterway.

The man was filmed navigating the waterlogged street on his watercraft, with the journey culminating near the Avižieniai roundabout. The roundabout had become impassable due to the sheer volume of accumulated water, highlighting the severity of the flooding.

Choose another way to your homes. You won't drive through the Avižieniai roundabout, you'll float. Or choose another vehicle.

In a lighthearted warning to other motorists, the man humorously advised them to find alternative routes or modes of transport. "Choose another way to your homes," he said in the video. "You won't drive through the Avižieniai roundabout, you'll float. Or choose another vehicle."

The heavy rains also caused damage elsewhere, with one resident, Rūta Mikelkevičiūtė, reporting that a part of her roof was torn off by the storm. Her family also encountered fallen trees blocking their usual route when attempting to pick up their son.

We tried to bring our son home yesterday. We couldn't take the usual road – it was blocked by trees.
